Copying and pasting styled text is now possible - yay.
However umlauts and accents are converted to HTML
format (e.g. eacute;)
This was not the case in 2.4.6 - so I presume it is an
oversight.
The variable watcher does not seem to work, though I
have only briefly tested it using both local and
global variables neither of which seem to register (I
may be doing something wrong?)
In 2.4.6 the script editor included a summary of
commands - this is not the case in 2.5 - I presume
that is intentional, and I will not miss the summary
of commands (I never used them) but beginners may - I
presume this is not an oversight but was intentional.
Otherwise it looks good - does not crash and the MW
seems to work just fine. Good job!

Where can I download a copy of MetaCard 2.5ß ?
I have written two articles on law and computing
which
will be published (online and offline) and which
will
use 2 metaCard stacks. I am happy to include a
Credits card for metacard - does MC have anything
particular that they want said? (Besides thanks for
this awesome tool) I'm happy to write something
myself
but also happy to put whatever MC wants.
Best wishes, hopefully this will only be the start
of
MetaCard as an academic computing tool.

Hello everyone,
I am new on this list but, judging by the glance I
took at the archives of this mailing list, I'm going
to feel right at home. I noticed, for instance, that
my three buddies from OPN are very active on this
list ; specifically Xavier Bury, David Bovill and
Monte Goulding. What's shaking guys? What became of
our MetaCard-based Jabber client? This is not just
an
off-hand question, BTW, because the lab I work for
is
desperately seeking a Web-based chat whose content
is
XML and, thereby, interoperable with other Web-based
clients for other communication means, forming a
cohesive whole where all the different components of
a
complete groupware solution interoperate seamlessly.
All the better if this solution can also
interoperate
with other existing chats like Jabber does. You were
dead-on, David, about the relevance of Jabber.
Things in the lab I work for are at a turning-point
right now. One of our objectives is to create a
communication, collaboration and E-learning platform
where the components can be mixed-and-matched at
will,
forming whole systems ( value-added solutions )
whose
components interoperate seemlessly. This objective
is
not the issue though. Nor is open-source versus
closed-source the issue because we have definitely
opted for OPEN source, adherence to as many open
standards as possible, and multi-platform
deployment.
The turning-point I alluded to has to do with *HOW*
we
should go about achieving it. To make it
multi-platform, many of my colleagues are arguing
that
we should make it entirely web-based. You know the
drill : PHP, mySQL, and that sort of thing.
Technologies that are indeed very mainstream these
days among web developers. And most of them are
open-source and free of charge. There is no denying
that this is a safe and rational approach, but
genuine breakthru innovation requires more than
this.
I have been doing this web stuff for about 7 years
now, and I've tried countless
